Low Durometer Silicones
Designed for Soft Tissue Implant Applications
NuSil’s MED-4801, MED-4805, and MED-4286 silicone elastomers bridge the gap between silicone gels and elastomers. When cured with heat, they yield low or ultra low durometers and subsequently provide softness near to that of many gel products, but with the increased cohesive strength of an elastomer.
